Cooperation and Research PROFILE FACULTY OF ENGINEERING, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Prepared by: Cooperation and Research office 2016 FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA, CIÊNCIA E TECNOLOGIA UNIVERSIDADE NACIONAL TIMOR LOROSA'E Rua de Estrada Nacional de Dili - Hera, PO.Box. 317, Telemóvel: (+670) 73204813 Foreword Faculty of Engineering, Science and Technology (FoEST) of National University of Timor Lorosa’e (UNTL) has its own vision to be the Center of Excellence for Science and Technology in Timor-Leste. To achieve that vision, the FoEST puts more effort to create an appropriate academic environment for education and research activities through cooperation with national and international agencies. Since UNTL established back in 2000, the FoEST has started its technical cooperation with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which mainly supporting laboratory equipments for research activity, capacity development for faculty staffs and better improvement of faculty management. In order to conduct more technical cooperation in a way of achieving mutual comprehensive objective among parties, the FoEST expanded its structural function, namely Vice Dear for Research and Cooperation Affairs to promote research and cooperation activities. Under the role of this division, we hope that the FoEST will be able to provide sufficient information, identify all necessary demand and needs, and provide gaps and opportunity for further cooperation with existing and/or other new parties. Finally, we are and always in strong commitment to cooperate with you, to improve the quality of education in engineering field. Through education and research in FoEST, we are aiming to educate promising students who can actively contribute to the national development and society in Timor-Leste. Hera, May 2016 Eng.

The main task of this new division is to promote cooperation and research. Of course Cooperation and research is not something new for the FoEST, since there have been many cooperation in the past and ongoing that involving the FoEST with other institutions. The FoEST will make sure to continue every possible cooperation with relevant institutions and strengthen research activities which can contribute to the national development and society. This simple booklet is just a brief overview on the Faculty of Engineering, Science and Technology and profile of lecturers in the five existing departments i.e. Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Geology & Petroleum Engineering, Informatics Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The purpose is to briefly introduce resources that the FoEST has. Hope this booklet will provide immediate required information. The details can be obtained with every department in the FoEST.

Background The Faculty of Engineering, Science and Technology (FoEST), is one out of seven existing faculties under the Universidade Nacional Timor Lorosa’e (UNTL). The FoEST runs all its activities in UNTL Hera campus, about 10 kilometers to the east from Dili, originated from the former Polytechnic Dili (1990-1999) that was established under Indonesia government. In 2000, under the auspices of UNTAET by merging two academic institutions, the University of Timor-Timur (1986-1999) and the Polytechnic of Dili, UNTL was established. As the only public institution of higher education in Timor Leste, UNTL is crucial to provide an effective response to the creation of the human resource, fundamental to a sustainable and proactive in national socioeconomic development. After the establishment of the UNTL, Mr. Inacio Freitas Moreira,M.Eng was appointed as the first dean of the FEST. The FoEST started its program by introducing the Diploma Program (D III) in 2000 which was mainly for three departments, i.e. Civil engineering department, Electrical and Electronic engineering department and Mechanical engineering department. In 2010, the D III program was terminated and shifted to undergraduate (S-1) program. Currently, the FEST has five departments for S-1 program; i.e.: Civil engineering department, Electrical engineering department, Geology & Petroleum department which was established in 2012, Informatics engineering department established in 2010, and Mechanical engineering department. II. Vision and Mission of the FoEST As an institution under UNTL, the FoEST also has its own vision and mission which described in the statute of the faculty of engineering, science and technology. 1) Vision The Vision of the Faculty of Engineering, Science and Technology (FoEST): 1. The Faculty of Engineering, Science and Technology pursues the Vision of National University Timor Lorosa'e that is to be the Center of Excellence for Higher Education in Timor-Leste. 2.
